There is no history or physical exam feature that rules out the disease Lactate elevation is a late finding in SBO. A normal lactate does not rule out the diagnosis Plain X-rays perform poorly in making or ruling out the diagnosis.

The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) protects employees in the United States from many forms of discrimination. One type the EEOC protects workers from is retaliation, which describes when a workplace punishes an employee for reporting instances of discrimination, typically sexual harassment.

Welcome back to the tasty morsels of critical care podcast. Today we are going to talk about triggering on the ventilator. Now given the ubiquity of the word “triggering” in contemporary discourse I must confess that i do find it quite “triggering” to walk up to a vent and see the pressure support set at 11 or some other horror show like a PEEP of 7… I mean, who would do such a thing.

Background: Diphenhydramine, a first-generation antihistamine, is the most common pharmacologic agent used to treat acute allergic reactions. Despite being highly effective in treating acute allergic reactions, first-generation H1 antihistamines cross the blood-brain barrier and bind to H1 receptors, which can lead to undesirable side effects, including drowsiness, sedation, fatigue, and decreased cognition (Church MK 2010).
